Held concurrently and just next door to Industrial Automation 2007 is the Asean Elenex 2007 exhibition, a biennial event that is known to be the key electrical engineering event for the South East Asia region.

Countries that were represented at the event held at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre include Malaysia, Singapore, India, Korea, Spain, United Kingdom and Turkey.

Attracting more than 13,000 local and foreign trade visitors, Asean Elenex saw more than 350 exhibitors displaying the latest machinery and equipment, providing an excellent opportunity for both visitors and exhibitors to meet and look out for improved solutions that are being adopted by some of the leading names in the electrical engineering industry.

One of the exhibitors, LKE, introduced its Medium Voltage Air, Gas, Vacuum Circuit Breaker and its Vacuum Load Break Switch capable of handling voltages up to 36kV. It also exhibited its modular, type-tested, draw-out panels to house electrical components. The panels are KEMA and ASTA certified and are capable of meeting IP54/55 standards upon request.

In an earlier press report, LKE had indicated that it hopes to increase awareness of its products and seek partners for future projects during AE 2007.

At the Singapore contingent, BuySingaporeTM held ground in one of the booths to collect trade leads for its business matching portal. Speaking with trade professionals, both buying and selling leads were collected and ready to be added into its already robust database.

Upcoming tradeshows where BuySingaporeTM will have a presence include the Malaysia International Jewellery Fair and Taiwan Automation Industry.
